Time and Space Limited in Hudson NY is honored to present D Jack Solomon – Potpourri- Seven Decades of Painting. This is an extraordinary opportunity to view select pieces from the oeuvre of this elder statesman of art in visual conversation with each other. Solomon’s work is characterized by whimsical and often humorous content, featuring appropriated images from popular culture and fine art sources, bolstered by a strong compositional gestalt. Examples from his intense period of minimalist color grids done during the mid 60’s -70’s make an appearance as well, having stayed as a stylistic feature in the paintings throughout his long career.

His process has been founded in collage since the mid 1990’s, through joining and juxtaposing areas of decorative pattern and architectonic material, and in contrasting modulated color fields to floating comic book figures. A resulting composite is either a mash up of cultural symbols or is suggestive of stream of consciousness narrative. Recurring elements include the circular motif or mandala, the minimalist grid, constructivist planar organization, bold shape contrast, and pattern.
